	package-refresh-contents.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

If you start a fresh Emacs config with an empty ~/.emacs.d/elpa
directory, calling M-x package-install ANY-PACKAGE will fail since the
archive sources haven't been fetched yet. M-x package-list-packages will
work, but sometimes the simpler form is preferred.

The attached patch fixes this problem.
